Clarence Thomas on Monument Controversy: Growing up, We Were More Worried About ‘Being Able to Eat’

‘Today, we think everything has to be one size fits all and people can’t have opinions that make us uncomfortable’

RUSH EXCERPT:
THOMAS: "Well, when you think of my grandparents, these were people who had been through quite a bit and had a calmness and contentment about life. They understood putting things in context. What was important priorities. What battle will you fight today? What decisions are you going to make. What decisions you make today result you being able to eat. Long-term, these two boys they were raising will be educated and have good manners and go to school and be polite to the neighbors. Today, we think everything has to be one size fits all and people can't have opinions that make us uncomfortable or ideas that make us uncomfortable or we don't agree with. They would not tolerate that."
